Name: Ryn Jeriko
Date Of Birth and/or Age: 26
Appearance: Slightly taller than average, with a warrior's build. Blond hair with greenish tint. (Turns full green under the effects of an alchemical infusion.) Wears rugged and functional clothing of greens and earth tones. Carries seven alchemical weapons:
Silver Knife: A steel knife covered in a layer of crystalline silver, maintains a diamond sharp edge.
Sword of Fire: A long sword that has a tube within the center of the blade. The tube is full of alchemist's fire that will leak out small pores onto the the blade at the pull of a lever on the crossguard. The application of a tiny spark will ight the entire length of the sword on fire.
Gauntlet of Capacitance: This heavy blue-steel gaunlet contains within small bundles of copper and a gnomish invention known as a battery. The copper coils absorb electircal attacks and store the enrgy in chemical form within the battery to be realized later. Electricity can be pulled back out through the gauntlet by striking a living creature.
Staff of Frost: A metal and alchemical glass staff that contains a chemical that is well below the freezing point, unscrewing the cap on one end causes the chemical to splash out on contact.
Flashstones: Small clay bombs that have a variety of effects, including a blinding flash, a deafening roar, and a forceful concussive wave.
Steambow: A gas-powered device that uses a high-tension wire to propel solid steel shafts over one hundred yards.
The Sevensmoker: His prize weapon and possession. Created by his gnomish foster family specifically for him. It is a device comsisting of seven iron tubes set in a circle on a handle. Each one is packed with an explosive powder and an iron ball. Upon pulling a lever on the handle, a barrel will explode the powder and propel the iron ball to its target.
Family: The Jeriko family was a simple band of traveling firework makers and raised their children in the arts of explosives and chemistry.
Personality: Ryn is reclusive and sometimes downright hostile. He has led a testing and chaotic life that has left his emotionally drained. He loves those he has worked with and generally hates anyone else. Currently, he is deeply in love with Jeskia Pyrenin and has a rivalry with his partner, Connor Crane.
Likes: ...not much at all.
Dislikes: Accusatory people.
History: At the age of ten, Ryn was introduced to an academy of gnomish alchemists. He decided to stay and apprentice himself to them. He also became the de facto guardian of the gnomes due to his half-elf stature and his skill with the technological weapons of the gnomes.
A gnome known as the Toymaker created sixteen constructs and lost control of them. Each construct developed free will and escaped to find their own niche in life. Several of them took to a life of kiling and chaos. The gnomes realized they had to retrieve the constructs. The gnomes realized their only option was to send the now eighteen year old Ryn on a quest. They decided to equip him with a alchemical armor that they had only just created. Upon putting it on it fused to his body, like a leech. It began to live off his biological processes and removal would casue the death of both. Ryn would be changed forever.
Bitter by the attachment of this armor, he became closed and hostile to everyone. Although it increased his strength, agility, and allowed him to control his own eyesight, he did not want this entity as part of him.
He quested and fought all sixteen constructs, collecting their heads. His quest took four long years, where he colelcted and invented the weapons he now uses.
Upon the return of the heads and minds of the constructs to the gnomes he vowed never to return to them for their indiscretions with the armor.
Ever since leaving the gnomes he has joined mercenary groups and bounty hunting squads all over the lands. He has made quite a name for himself as a fighter, and always gets the job done. No matter what.
